Path Lined with Specters

Hilary Uhl 1985 (Philadelphia, PA)

Ode
She walks in sorrow
along a path lined with specters
reminders of lost dreams
She stumbles blindly forward
each step a nightmare
But if she only stretched out her hand,
she would feel love guiding her
gently along the path
"It's not so treacherous," she said
"trust me, we'll go together"
